1? INTERSTATE Organized labor is having Its trouMs at the Interstate Steel comrany. Th plant Is working under an agreement with the Amalgamated Association ani the union men say they are getting all that they want. Recently the electricians, machinists and laborers organized and presented demands to the company. The newly organized men were restrained from going out last Monday by the union organizers who told them they were not sufficiently organized. The electricians then set today as the time for the strike while the company asked until Monday to consider the demands. The laborers were still considered too unorganized to go out. Last night the Amalgamated men held a meeting in an endeavor to stave off a strike. At the same time the other unions held a meeting In an endeavor 'o call the strike for today. For the time the Amalgamated seems to havo on. The strike did not go Into effect today. If the strike is called It will throw about a thousand men out of work since the plant can not operate without the laborers. This will put union men out of work who have everything that the steel workers are asking of Judge Gary. The question is. "Will the Amalgania'ed or the newer unions win?"

B B & FIGHT SCENE SHIFTS TO By FSJLNK O. BtXNXS. (STAFF CORRESPONDENT I. N. SERVICEl COMISKEY PARK. Oct. 3. The worlds series performers made their Illinois debut here this afternoon and 33,000 Chicagoans assembled in an attempt to root the bruised ani battered White Sox on to victory. The third clash for the highest honors in baseball was staged under weather conditions far closer to ideal than the first two in Cincinnati. It was a bit muggy and the sun radiated considerable beat, but cooling breezes from the west made it comfortable all around. It was a sort of "do or die" combat for the pale hosed athletes and the multitude, realizing the desperate plight of its favorites, aided to the limit of its vocal power. If it felt any discouragement, it was careful to conceal its feelings. The Appearance of the Sox on the field provoked a cheer as genuine and as tremendous as would have been their portion if they had won instead of lost the first two duels. Nor was there any noticeable lack of financial backing for the Sox. The sentiment around these parts bofore game-time was that the Sox are all set for a spectacular "come-back" that they are coming from behind to annex another section of world championship bunting. And so the rather reckless betting of the Redland fans was snapped up. These were the odds prior to game time: 5 to 2 the Reds win the series. 3 to 3 that the Reds win this afternoon's game. 1 to 5 that the Reds w in four straight. 1 to 10 that the Reds take the series in five straight. The bleacher sections one in left flell and the other in right were filled practically to capacity about 11:30; and so were the two pavilions. But there was only a scattering of fanatics in the grandstands at that hour. It was around 1:00 p. m. when the "high-brow" seat holders began to report and from that time on they came in battalions. Only a mild cheer greeted the Reds when they reported for practice at 12:30 in contrast with the mighty ovation for the Sox when they took the field five minutes later. And then began spirite 1 practico by both teams, which endured right up to game time. COOK KICKS GIRL; NABBED BY POLICE Peter Kovellls. a cook, employed in the American restaurant on Sibloy St., which is run by his brother, was arrested last night by Police Matron Myrtle Pfeffer and Officer Newland of the Hammond police of a warrant charging assault and battery. Kovellls is charged with becoming angry with a little 15-year-old girl who works at the restaurant and kicking her, injuring her quite badly. He is being held on a $100 bond to appear for trial In the Hammond city court Wednesday morning before Judge Klotz. PIONEER OF HESSVTLLE DIES j iary ess, iv years or age, wire oi George Hess, died this morning at tnelr home in Hessville.

"The railway men will- not return on future promises, but only on denni'e assurances that their just cliams will be met."
